Village Care Homes Assisted Living - Stephen F Austin sits in a quiet, established neighborhood on rolling hills in the East Texas Piney Woods, and it's family-owned and run, aiming for a slower pace of life where residents can enjoy peace and a feeling of home. The single-story brick building covers about 6,400 square feet and holds up to 16 residents in 15 spacious rooms, with both private and semi-private options, many having en-suite bathrooms, so folks have a good bit of personal space, and the work they put into making everything feel comfortable and supportive really stands out. Staff are there 24/7, with two caregivers during the day and one at night, and you'll see them around helping with daily things like bathing, grooming, toileting, incontinence, transferring, and medication management, plus they provide all meals from scratch, daily housekeeping, and laundry, which keeps routines feeling smooth and a bit easier.
Residents can choose furnished rooms or bring their own belongings, and the home's always got Wi-Fi, cable, and other in-room features, which helps people stay connected. The staff looks out for each person's specific needs with assessments and personalized plans, and they support folks with memory conditions like dementia, those managing diabetes, or those needing two-person transfer help, and even respite care's available for short stays. The leadership says their mission is to build a better model of senior living through this personalized care, with a high caregiver-to-resident ratio and a focus on dignity and respect, which means everyone gets a bit more attention in the small and familiar group they keep.
They encourage people to keep up their independence, and the facilities show it-there are two living and dining areas for gatherings, a communal dining space with room service, and guest meals, plus there's a swimming pool, serene backyard, and patio nestled in a wooded thicket if someone wants to walk or garden or just look out at the trees. Activities like fitness programs, movie nights, religious services, and tailored events give people chances to get together, keep active, and feel supported physically, mentally, and spiritually. Safety's built in, too-a backup generator, commercial fire sprinkler system, and round-the-clock supervision all help keep everyone safe and well.
Nearby, residents have access to parks, walking paths, Summer Moon Coffee, Sacred Heart Catholic Church, and Walgreens pharmacy for simple outings or quick errands, and health needs are covered with places like Conroe Surgery Center and Medical Plus close by. The staff gets ongoing training to watch for changes in daily living abilities, and there's always a part-time nurse on hand along with occupational therapy, physical therapy, and rehabilitation services as needed. The monthly rates range from $3,850 for a semi-private suite to between $4,500 and $5,000 for a private one, and there are extra charges for things like full incontinence care, diabetic care, special diets, and more specialized help, which keeps things pretty clear for families thinking about costs. The entry fee is $1,500, with respite rates starting at $225 per day, and they accept checks and credit cards.
